HARMAN to Demonstrate Cybersecurity Detection & Visibility System
with IBM at TU-Automotive

June 07, 2017 08:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time

DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HARMAN
International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd. focused on connected technologies for automotive,
consumer and enterprise markets, today announced it is working with IBM
Security to bring world-class security analytics to OEMs. At the
TU-Automotive show in Detroit, on June 7-8, 2017, the companies will
demonstrate how HARMAN’s cybersecurity
suite can be integrated with the IBM
QRadar security intelligence platform.

The integration brings together the extensive capabilities of both
parties to offer automakers on-board detection and mitigation of a range
of security events and threats together with a robust backend analysis
and forensic system.

During the event HARMAN and IBM will highlight how the integration
between their respective offerings can help address a diverse range of
cyber threats such as ransomware, SMS spoofing, compromised dongle and
multi-step wireless attacks, as well as enabling a vehicle manufacturer
to manage and resolve the threats across all susceptible vehicles.

HARMAN’s proven suite of on-board vehicle security agents, including the
award-winning ECUSHIELD, providing in-vehicle protection and TCUSHIELD,
a telematics security product, will share data and events with IBM
QRadar – the world’s leading Security Information and Events Management
(SIEM) platform. Combining these elements can provide OEMs with
significantly enhanced intelligence and control of their vehicles’
cybersecurity protection.

“This integration will offer global automakers a true end-to-end
solution, combining the ability to minimize potential attacks on a
vehicle, with a scalable method of providing a broad visibility to the
OEM across its entire fleet of vehicles,” says Yuval Weisglass, HARMAN’s
Sr. Director for R&D, Automotive Cybersecurity. “Sharing critical
security information across the fleet in a robust, secure and controlled
manner along with advanced analysis and forensic capabilities is what
the OEMs are seeking, and is key to addressing a broad range of
cybersecurity and related events.”

This specific technology is already attracting a rising number of OEMs
to specify ECUSHIELD and TCUSHIELD products as the industry prepares for
the number of connected cars to top a quarter of a billion by 2020.

“Safety, security, and data privacy will be the market differentiators
for connected and autonomous vehicles,” said Jason Corbin, Vice
President of Strategy and Offering Management, IBM Security. “We see
Vehicle Security Operations Centers emerging as the centralized hub that
OEMs and fleet owners will use to help secure vehicles and their data.
Working with HARMAN takes an important first step in that vision
providing OEMs the same level of security intelligence currently being
used to defend the world’s largest banks, retailers and healthcare
organizations.”

“HARMAN’s leading position in the development of cybersecurity
technologies for the connected and autonomous car makes us the ideal
partner to support the OEMs,” added Yuval Weisglass. “Working with
trusted brands such as IBM ensures we can extend that security beyond
the car itself.”

With over 150 speakers and 3000 attendees, TU-Automotive Detroit is the
world's biggest conference for connected & autonomous cars. HARMAN and
IBM’s automotive cybersecurity solution will be demonstrated at booth
C178, near the Press Zone.
